Property Details
Description
South-facing and corner-situated, Residence 4B at 136 East 79th Street captures the elegance of prewar architecture while offering a flexible, livable layout. A private elevator opens directly into your own entry foyer, a hallmark of the building’s 1928 design by F. Burrall Hoffman, Jr. and Lafayette A. Goldstone, who gave this brick-and-limestone cooperative its gracious proportions, wrought-iron details, and timeless scale. Currently configured as a three-bedroom, the home features a spacious library that can easily flex as a fourth. The primary suite, a bright corner room with south and east exposures, is complemented by a large dressing room and abundant closet space. A greenhouse extension off the living area, once a balcony, offers the intriguing possibility of being restored to outdoor space with board approval. The windowed kitchen includes room for a breakfast nook and offers ample storage and a vented range hood, making it ideal for everyday cooking. Hardwood floors run throughout, and the apartment is outfitted with extensive closets, a washer and vented dryer, and exceptional privacy. Additional conveniences include a dedicated storage unit and a separate staff room on the second floor, perfect for an office or additional storage needs. Life at 136 East 79th Street is anchored by its exceptional full-time staff, including a beloved long-tenured live-in resident manager. The building has long been regarded as one of the Upper East Side’s most refined prewar cooperatives, offering residents the classic details of its era together with thoughtful modern upgrades including a beautiful garden and state of the art fitness facility.
